The prospects for DirectX 12 turn out to be fairly complicated. While everyone seems universally agreed that it will provide some gains, it’s unlikely that those improvements will be instantaneous or dramatic. At least, not for those of us playing along at home.There are a lot of factors that push against and huge, revelatory changes in PC graphics technology that will provide immediate, tangible results to the PC gamer.Other games not released this year that top the list include Left 4 Dead 2, Garry's Mod, Terraria, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, and Borderlands 2. ARK: Survival Evolved and Rocket League became out-of-nowhere sensations, selling about 2 million copies a piece. That's especially notable for ARK as it's still an "Early Access" title, with the final release scheduled for next summer.While OPSkins is totally independant from Steam’s Community Market, the men say that Valve hasn’t given them any trouble. “We had talks with Valve,” said Brechisci. “They shut us down once. They investigated what we were doing and then they turned us back on and said we were good to go.” In fact, their business is doing so well that OPSkins says it now employs 20 staff members, spread across the US, Canada and Europe.Also of note for those who haven’t snagged a copy yet, the game has been released with in full HD and is on sale for the week at $42.50 – 15% off it’s normal price of $49.99 – so grab it while it’s on sale!The biggest home of gambling in Australia is jumping on the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive bandwagon — and they’re bringing two big names to the party.CS:GO's price drop is an invitation for those who hack to buy one or several new copies of the game and tie them to new, unique Steam accounts. These secondary accounts insulate your main profile—where you keep your game library and everything else that's valuable—from the consequences of cheating. We've recently investigated the seemingly healthy shadow industry of cheating in games like CS:GO, but it's worth underlining how especially disruptive cheating is in the second-most popular game on Steam. What's challenging about hacking in CS:GO is that much of the onus is on the players to report and police themselves, but competitive play makes it inherently difficult or time-consuming to verify a hacker. Naturally, you're not allowed to spectate an opponent mid-match, so if I want to be sure that someone's playing illegitimately, I have to be mad enough to take the time to stop playing, load up my match replay, scrutinize my opponent's actions, report them, and then just… trust that the system will catch them.

Finally Patch 1.3, released January 14, claimed to introduce more anti-cheating protections, but this was (understandably) light on details. As Ars readers know, there's nothing better than spotting a cheater, but I'm also cautious of being too hasty, because people online shout "cheat" all the time. It's not endemic but there are definite cheaters in Siege, and a wall hacker is an enormous problem in a game where you can be shot through most walls. Don't get me started on the lack of a structure to deal with griefers and teamkillers, because we could go on like this forever.The truth is that getting better at Counter-Strike by only playing Counter-Strike can be a really slow, ineffective way to get better at Counter-Strike. Especially if you aren’t taking the time to watch and analyze your own matches, it’s possible to spend months or years making the same mistakes.Folks creating servers that allow for custom skins are throwing that system right out the window. If you see someone with a rad skin on these servers, it's likely a mod that they plugged into the game or even purchased from another player, which in affect takes money out of Valve's pocket for cosmetic items.

As such, he reminds Steam users to think twice before installing anything, whether it be an image, screensaver or extension.Gamasutra recently sat down to play some CS:GO with Le, and chat about his thoughts on Counter Strike and the industry in general. Here's Le in his own words.I was working with Valve for about five years, and I left at the end of 2006. I started a new game called Tactical Intervention. I guess a lot of people wonder why I left Valve -- everyone wants to work at Valve, right? I think at the time, they were at the stage where there wasn't a lot of push towards a new Counter Strike game. At the time they were working on Team Fortress 2, and I felt that I wanted to focus more on a game that was similar to CS."We can confirm, by investigating the historical activity of relevant accounts, that a substantial number of high valued items won from that match by Duc 'cud' Pham were transferred (via Derek 'dboorn' Boorn) to iBUYPOWER players and NetCodeGuides founder, Casey Foster," Valve wrote on the CS:GO blog. "All together, the information we have collected and received makes us uncomfortable continuing any involvement with these individuals."Seven players will be excluded from "participation in any capacity in Valve-sponsored events," according to the post:

Other than map tweaks, there are no stated changes to weapon balance or other aspects of CS:GO. I do like that the match timer for casual has been cut by 45 seconds to a more respectful 2:15, but otherwise the focus of this update is squarely on shoving more maps, monetized missions, and weapon skins into the game. But hey, the new Falchion knife (already listing at about $400 at the time of this post) has a cool animation, I guess.The Dahn is a collector. He's managed to painstakingly amass a glittering arsenal of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in-game items that total out to a real money value of between $7,500 and $9,000. And now he's getting rid of them all.Furthermore, because all of these transactions are fully paid in Bitcoin, there is no third party taking a cut of every sale. Transaction fees for Bitcoin transfers are paid by the sender, and the process costs next to nothing when comparing it to traditional payment solutions. Plus, due to its global reach, Bitcoin is accessible to and by everyone in the world. For those who once considered the campaign to be part of the appeal behind the Rainbow Six series, I imagine the (unsurprising) news that Siege won’t have a major single-player element outside of bots will be kind of disappointing.

For me, I've been playing FPSess for 12 years now, and I want it to try something different. I wanted to do something different with TI. What my objective was with TI was to explore some different game mechanics and modes. I think we succeeded with some of the elements of TI, but some of the other stuff we tried didn't really pan out so well at all.By using the Steam platform – which has a built-in marketplace – it is not hard to find buyers and sellers for in-game items one might be looking for. However, Steam itself does not accept Bitcoin payments directly, as they only support traditional payment methods. Not all of these methods are available to everyone in the world, which creates a problem. he Reddit posted explains how the in-game CS: GO items are sold on the Steam marketplace, but he looks for buyers willing to pay in Bitcoin. Considering how many people play CS:GO, there is a large market for skins, upgrades, and other in-game items that are not bound to one particular account. Selling these goods is perfectly legal, and some people make good money from doing so.

The result is a switch that feels more defined than the Cooler Master. That’s not to say a quick strike won’t fire the key, but it’s easier to hold the key right above the activation point. The BlackWidow has a more distinct feel to activation than the Blue does.Either way, as the Daily Dot points out, it seems clear that the ESL would like to distance itself from Valve. The CS:GO tournament at ESL One Cologne announced earlier this year is billed as the largest in the world, with a $250,000 prize pool, but unlike previous tournaments that were "community funded" in conjunction with Valve, this year's event is being covered entirely by the ESL. The change struck me as odd at the time—why say "no" if somebody else wants to foot the bill?—but now it's making a little more sense.
